<p>I always recall the one play off series where he just muscled out D-12 with his bulk, his contributions this year on the stats sheet don't look great, put his on court plus and minus rating is always good. Personally I don't think he has been as effective for OKC as he was for the Celtics.</p>

<p>Brooks and Presti don't want to admit a mistake. And OKC is good enough that they can win games giving Perkins time. So Brooks and Presti don't really have to admit this yet. If they lose a playoff series because of this, then they will really be idiots. But this isn't killing OKC. Also they might believe in some sort of intangible thing that having Perkins on the court. I used to believe that Brooks might have thought that at one point, but I doubt he could still believe that. </p>
<p>Also if they don't play Perkins and they get exposed for having no big guy, fans might remember that they traded a seven footer to get the chance to swap Harden for K. Martin (and I think it is just one year of K. Mart, at that). Cole Aldrich hasn't been good yet, but Presti doesn't want OKC to ever be perceived as too small while that trade is still fresh in everyone's mind.</p>

<p>He makes about 50% of his open close range jumpers, they are ugly, but they go in</p>

<p>He can make an open shot...as long as it is a lay up.</p>

<p>I really like Perkins for OKC, despite being slow he is extremely good at defending against guards (which he needs to do because OKC switches all the time on defence). He is a very good passer offensively, sets good picks and can make an open shot.<br />
He is also a big body on defence and doesn't allow easy baskets. His shot blocking has been good lately</p>

<p>I've been saying this for years that Perkins isn't anything special and people would chastise me for it. I've said numerous times that for a suppossed defensive force he doesn't rebound at an elite level, he doesn't block shots or accumulate steals at an elite level, he doesn't have the foot speed to cover the PnR effectively anymore. And I said when he lose weight that he just lost his most effective assett which was in fact his weight. </p>
<p>He's a hard worker with a great work ethic and a very strong locker room presence but he's getting paid way to much for that. He's not even a great enforcer along the lines of a guy like Charles Oakley who could atleast rebound, and hit a mid range jumper at an elite level for a big.</p>

<p>Has actually made him less effective<br />
That's all there is to it. He played the pic and roll as good as anyone on defense for the C's.</p>

<p>I hate playing with him on 2k. I always take him out and put Perry Jones and slide Ibaka to center.</p>

<p>crown, that's what the Grizzly's said. According to, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/21520785/berger-grizzlies-warriors-discuss-rudy-gay-trade" title="http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/21520785/berger-grizzlies-warriors-discuss-rudy-gay-trade" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/21520785/berger-griz...</a> and <a href="http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/jan/08/grizzlies-rudy-gay-unruffled-by-trade-talks-if/?CID=happeningnow" title="http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/jan/08/grizzlies-rudy-gay-unruffled-by-trade-talks-if/?CID=happeningnow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/jan/08/grizzlies-rudy-gay-unru...</a> , they are shopping Gay and or Randolph as a salary dump and for picks. Besides I prefaced it with this isn't "conceivable". But talk lately about competing at the right time could make the Grizz consider it. The right time is after the Thunder and Heat slow down, I suppose. Besides what better deal has been mentioned for Gay or Randolph. Nothing Phoenix has, including Jared Dudley (c'mon son) can beat Lamb, T.O. pick and PJ3.</p>
